Did Charles Darwin name his boat after his dog?

Yeah he did actually. he called it HMS beagle or the beagle for breed of dog - get it. well HMS stands for his/her Majesty's ship

Answer:

Darwin did not own the ship the HMS Beagle or have any role in naming it. The HMS Beagle was a Cherokee class 10-gun brig-sloop of the Royal Navy launched on 11 May 1820. Darwin accompanied the Beagle on a mapping or survey expedition to the south seas.
